Topglove.com: IMPORTANT NOTICE - 23rd July 2020

Top Glove Sdn Bhd / TG Medical Sdn Bhd does not appoint or authorize any agents or representatives in Malaysia or overseas to attend to new enquiries for the purchase of gloves from us due to the sudden surge in demand for gloves caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

All export sales of our gloves are handled directly by Top Glove’s Marketing & Sales Department staff in Malaysia.

Are you sure that your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is legal and its supporting documentation is genuine and relates directly to the performance of the equipment.

Despite the best efforts of the market policing authorities and ourselves at the BSIF, there are still illegal items of PPR being placed on the market.

(Reuters) - A global shortage of medical gloves due to a coronavirus-driven surge in demand will carry over into next year, Malaysia, the world's biggest gloves supplier, said on Thursday, warning buyers to be wary of scammers promising quick supplies.

"The Medical Device division of the group has been successfully manufacturing and supplying medical products, including a range of PPE to companies globally for many years. With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the resultant and unprecedented level of fraud and counterfeit products finding their way on to the market, we have had to reiterate that the Eurotai UK office is the official and authorised company branch for PPE and medical device marketing, sales and distribution in the UK.

Sadly, unscrupulous middlemen, traders and unqualified individuals have damaged the industry and eroded trust to the point that legitimate products and companies are being penalised as a result. Our aim is to protect not only our clients as always but just as importantly the reputation and legitimacy of the supply chain and the future of our 600 + staff."
